Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the coat of arms of the Vaina/Woyna family, which was a prominent noble family in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the 16th century. The coat of arms is depicted on the reverse side of the coin, and it is surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This coin is a rare example of a coin that has been minted with a noble family's coat of arms, making it a valuable piece for collectors of historical coins.
